Welcome back to the Charlotte Smarty Pants podcast series, which is powered by Charlotte Star Room, Charlotte’s premier boutique music development and corporate video production studio + the best birthday parties in the QC, the Popstar music video parties, AND professional voice lessons in a studio.
You can now find the entire Smarty podcast series on iTunes! So, please subscribe and share!
We’ve got a fun episode for you today – we’re not talking any serious education or health topics – we’re dishing on our favorite books and Netflix shows with one of our favorite people, Jolie Short. She’s a dear friend of the Smarty team and is SO kind to spend her morning with us. We’ve linked to all of the shows and books we mention in the podcast, as well as many more (we didn’t have time to make it through all of them!).
